Is it challenging enough?
I am a very fast typer. Will it still be challenging for me?

Yes. ~130 wpm here and I didn't end with a perfect game. The beginning was very easy and it slowly ramps up. If you find typing fun, you'll enjoy the game.

Quite slow here but managed to finish the first level with full health on Hard difficulty. (Didn't continue yet. Should study.)

There is a Hardcore after that but dunno how to unlock it. Maybe finishing the game once first.

Ok, just tried on "normal" difficulty. Was too easy, but it's soooo funny and exciting that it's great fun. Will try on hard tomorrow, but already not regretting the buy! :)

Even for fast typists it's still fun.

It's not just about typing fast, it's about... deciding which things to type fast. I guess.

If you just type the first thing you see every time you'll get killed by thrown objects, or fast moving zombies that come slightly later.

In otherwords, typing with distractions.

Hardcore mode will make it much more interesting... unlocked once you beat the game the first time. If you make a mistake typing word/phrase it is replaced with an entirely different phrase. It's still a fun game on normal mode as well.

Yeah... Hardcore mode is intense. Even for a 100+ WPM writer.

My typing speed is around 75 WPM so I'm guessing Hardcore mode is going to knock me flying. Maybe it'll improve my speed.

I am around 80-90 wpm and I can say that it is certainly a fun game. I did an entire play thru on normal for purposes of recording the video and while easy, I didn't land a perfect. Not because of speed (I was easily able to keep up) but because of typing mistakes. Plus the story is so ridiculous, you can't wait for the next cut scene.

I type ~160 WPM and some parts have been quite challenging on the highest difficulty level, so absolutely.

Of course you do.

Haha thanks for the link that was fun, although I only got 133 WPM as my best. Still owned 99% of them!

If I had gotten something like that guys 160 WPM I would have registered and posted though :D:

I'll be honest, the best I could do was 144 WPM after numerous attempts and a room-full of expletives.

Not a fan of that site/test. I particularly despise their format of an endless stream of random words that have no relation to one another. I kept wanting to form sentences with the words rather than taking it one word at a time and that kept throwing me off.
